It's just water down the drain.” Charles Owens, Sec- retary-Treasurer; Merridee Miller, President; John Rude, Vice President. The year got off to a fast start with everyone running around trying to find out just where they belonged. The new freshmen who came in from the country were a tre- mendous addition to our class. It was hard to get into the swing of things after three months of vacation, but after about a week the teachers made sure we didn't for- get what we were supposed to be doing. (Home work!) The campaigning and electing of class officers couldn’t be forgotten. Merridee Miller led our class as president, John Rude as our vice president, and Charles Ownes was our able secretary-treasurer. Homecoming came along, the theme was chosen and immediately everyone began thinking up good float ideas. This being our first year to have a king and queen atten- dant, we were all very proud of Barbara Butzlaff and Doug- las Olson who did a very good job of representing our class. Then came football, or should we say football? Even though some people may have wondered just exactly what was going on we were all very proud of our two wins and one loss record. Joyce Mishler was chosen by the student body to help cheer the B squad on to victory. By all indications it looks as though she must have done a good job, because ourB squad lost only two games. Tommy Crosgrove was our contribution to the squad. He was our pride and joy as he led the team with the most points and when he was named prep star of the week by the Minneapolis Star. The pleasant odors coming up from the Home Ec. room made us all proud of the wonderful cooks of our class. Not to be outdone, the sewing class and the boys in shop turned out some pretty good looking articles. Before any of us realized what was happening spring was here and with it came final exams. They lasted such a brief time it was hardly worth all the complaining we did. Finals - Report cards - passing grades, and at last, Senior High, here we come! ”
